This past week marked a pivotal time for theatre fans everywhere as the nominations for this year's Tony Awards were announced. And with these nominations brings up many questions as the Tonys get closer. Who was snubbed, where the competition truly lies, and what we're looking forward to most were all important points of discussion. Being so, I feel it's time for me to weigh in:

1. Will "Hamilton" win every category?

Having already set a record for most nominations a show has ever received, will "Hamilton" continue to break history by winning the most awards? Could it possibly beat out "The Producers" that currently holds the record with 12 Tony Award wins? I'd say it'll win the obvious ones: Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score. As for the other categories, I'd say it's a possibility, but not set in stone. Plus, other musicals deserve some recognition for their work this season.

2. Will Lin Manuel-Miranda pull out a win for Best Actor in a Musical?

Alexander Hamilton could be said to be the most demanding role in the category, but performance-wise could be another story. Danny Burstein received a lot of praise for bringing new life into the role of Tevye for "Fiddler on the Roof," as did Zachary Levi in his Broadway debut in the acclaimed revival of "She Loves Me" and newcomer Alex Brightman for "School of Rock." And if that weren't tough enough, Miranda is also up against Leslie Odom Jr. who has been praised to the skies playing Hamilton's archnemesis, Aaron Burr. Looks like these two will duel once more, this time for a Tony, with hopefully less bloodshed.

3. Should Audra McDonald have been nominated?

This may seem like an obvious answer because we all secretly strive to be Audra McDonald, but it's a hot debate right now among theatre fans and critics alike. McDonald holds the record for having won six Tony awards, more than any other artist with her sixth win being last year for her portrayal as Billie Holiday in "Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill." She also was praised for her performance in the second most nominated musical this year, "Shuffle Along, or the Making of the Musical Sensation of 1921 and All That Followed." Was she not given a nomination to give someone else a chance? Or should she have been given the nomination despite her record of past wins? Either way, she'll be in attendance to remind us of her amazingness.

4. Is it possible to only declare one winner for Best Featured Actor in a Musical?

The Tony Award selection committee just love to torture us in the way they're keeping us in suspense this year. This one's gonna be a nail biter. There's not one, not two, but three "Hamilton," stars with Daveed Diggs, Jonathan Groff and Christopher Jackson all receiving nominations. If that weren't bad enough, there's also the adorable performance of Christopher Fitzgerald for "Waitress," and let's not count out Brandon Victor Dixon in "Shuffle Along, or the Making of the Musical Sensation of 1921 and All That Followed."

5. Can every female who's nominated just get a Tony Award this year?

I can't stress enough the amount of talent that is being recognized this year. We're talking powerhouse against powerhouse. We're talking Jessica Lange, Lupita Nyong'o, Jessie Mueller, Danielle Brooks. And it's not just the actresses, either! Sara Bareilles received a nomination for Best Original Score for "Waitress," while Liesl Tommy got a nod for Best Director for "Eclipsed." The list of powerful, talented women this year goes on and on. I'd love to see a musical number in honor of them all.

6. What kind of host will James Corden be?

No doubt Corden will do well. "The Late Late Show with James Corden" is a smash, and Corden even received a Tony himself for his comedic performance in "One Man, Two Guvnors." It'll be interesting to see compared with past hosts how he'll host himself. Will he perform original musical numbers like Neil Patrick Harris? Or like Whoopi Goldberg (and also NPH) cast himself in this year's best play and best musical nominees? Or will he throw everyone for a loop with his own kind of flair? Needless to say, it will be worth waiting.

7. How much will we cry over the night's performances?

Though the official lineup has yet to be announced, it's safe to assume all Best Musical and Best Revival of a Musical nominees will perform. "Hamilton" is an obvious one that will indeed produce tears that we are blessed to even get a glimpse of its magic. We'll also have "Waitress" where if Jessie Mueller performs "She Used to Be Mine," the broadcast may be paused for an hour of standing ovation. And let's not forget "The Color Purple," which has been compared to a religious experience. Last but not least, the Deaf West Company's performance of "Spring Awakening" will literally make us swoon in its quality of artistic expression.

Who knows what's in store this year. Make sure to tune in Sunday, June 12, at 8 p.m. EST on CBS!
